The Second National Imbizo Focus Week of the fifth democratic administration will take place from 7 to 12 April 2015 under the government’s five year theme: “Together we move South Africa forward”.

This Imbizo week follows shortly after the State of the Nation Address (SoNA) on 12 February 2015 and the post-SoNA Cluster Media Briefings which makes it an ideal platform to amplify the pronouncements of the President in his address. During the Imbizo Focus Week political principals can therefore articulate messages around the priorities of government as outlined in the SoNA.
As the current administration will be nearing its first year in office, this Focus Week will also allow visits to, and interaction about, programmes, projects and initiatives launched since May 2014.
Through the Imbizo Focus Week, government will have an opportunity to advance awareness and understanding of the National Development Plan and vision 2030 which seeks to promote multi-sectoral collaboration between all sections of society and effective leadership by government on matters affecting the country and its people.
